About

Absurd.website is a long-term artistic practice that uses real and fictional startups, web tools, and digital services as its primary artistic medium — the way others might use paint, performance, or sculpture. Some projects exist only as speculative interfaces; others can be actually used or “ordered” in real life. When someone places an order or initiates a transaction, the work shifts from fiction to reality — the way a performance comes alive only in the moment of action. Each project functions as a small intervention that blurs the boundaries between art, technology, and playful absurdity.

Operating at the intersection of contemporary art and digital experimentation, Absurd.website explores the humorous yet critical potential of absurdity. Founded in 2020, it began with irregular releases; since 2024, it has taken the form of a continuous monthly practice. In 2025, the project expanded with a parallel line of Members Only works — secret digital interventions accessible to supporters.

Artistic Philosophy

Absurd.website embodies the notion of “artist as company” — a single artist constructing a fictional production machine that generates surreal services, malfunctioning products, and conceptual micro-startups. This framework treats the mechanics of startups and the language of the web as expressive artistic material, used to examine how digital culture shapes belief, desire, and value.

The core of every project lies in the concept. All ideas originate from the artist; AI and other digital tools are used only as practical instruments to realize these concepts, never as generators of them. Absurdity here is not a lack of meaning — it is a method. Through humor, irony, and digital speculation, Absurd.website questions value, belief systems, utility, and the aesthetics of online culture.

Note on voice: Absurd.website frequently uses the corporate “We” in its communication. This is an intentional part of the artistic framework. Although the entire practice is created by a single artist, the fictional company voice functions as a narrative tool — reflecting how startups construct authority, scale, and collective identity. Here, “We” is an artistic device, not a literal team.

Key Themes

  • Contemporary & Post-Digital Art: exploring how absurdity operates within today’s digital reality.
  • Net and Web Art: treating the internet as both canvas and stage for conceptual experimentation.
  • Business as Art: using startup logic as a sculptural language, parodying optimization, monetization, and techno-optimism.
  • Playfulness & Experimentation: prioritizing curiosity, creative misdirection, and purposeful nonsense over function or logic.

Absurd.website positions absurdity as a fully legitimate artistic approach — an invitation to embrace the strange, the humorous, and the unexpected within digital culture.
